Oh man, every Palestinian had an ID number? Man those could have just been tattooed on every person to make sure Israel could keep track of them better.
No idea why Israel didn't think of that. Seems obvious to use in your fenced in area that everyone has to be carefully released from for either work or because they died.
To this day I don’t know why Sun didn’t run a campaign with the slogan “we didn’t help the Holocaust”. Who am I kidding, their clients are all descendants of nazis supporting the idea of an American ethnostate.
every American has an ID number too... I get the comparison you're making but I don't think birth certificates are inherently dystopian. there's plenty of actual shit to be mad about, such as 14 pages of dead babies, without having to complain about mundane shit
LOL yeah I know. They actually are helpful for any developed country but seeing a document of a list of 34,000 dead humans from newborns to "old" that Palestine is trying to prove were real (because the number dead is way higher) by using the identification numbers and knowing how Israel uses their labor force and tracks them made me feel the parallels to a historical use, a little heavily.
I kinda figured they should just go all the way with it.
It's a shame that people who were historically tormented by disgusting people can turn out to be infinitely more reprehensible... I'm looking at you netanyahu you scumbag Nazi
I hear you, it's been a brutal millennium so far and things look like they'll get worse before they get better.
We're all powerless alone, and I don't see us being able to stop the worst of what's to come, but there's pressure building against Israel, against capitalism, against conservatism, against the status quo.
It's going to be a rough ride but we need to stubbornly exist and be present and visible so that the pressure keeps building.
That's the "funny" thing about it. ALONE we are powerless. The really really hard part is getting all of us together.
Media in the past that wasn't purely propaganda for the sake of manipulating the population would have achieved this simply by the reporting done. Now all they do is give cover to the assholes committing the atrocities across the world and we have to fight with each other just to convince people what is actually happening and why it's bad...
Divide and conquer works and it's why we never seem to make progress. :(
I really feel ya. It's insane how, short of donating as much as we can, most of us can't really do anything but watch this shit happen. It's a fucking mess.
Those children could've grown up to do some amazing things in many different industries (and no, terrorism is NOT one of them), but because they're unlucky enough to be born in Gaza, they have to deal with constant bombing, lack of food and water, damages in physical and mental health, and eventually death, before they even turn 18. Sometimes it's even abrupt and sudden.
Has Israel not yet learned how cruel this is? And THEY'RE the ones that get all the funding to do this. Oh, but if I say anything bad about Israel then I'm "antisemitic" MY ASS. You're killing literal children and I want the whole world to know about it.
Or you know, Hamas could have built bomb shelters for the people they're "protecting". Instead they built tunnels for themselves and keeping hostages, dragged Gaza into a needless war with Israel, all the while its own leaders live in the comfort of Iran's mad regime that also funds them.
Maybe the Muslim brotherhood would help out these children by accepting them as refugees, but I guess nobody wants another Black September where PLO attempted a coup on the Jordanian king that accepted Palestinian refugees, huh?

I think I speak for every single Jordanian when I ask you to shut the fuck up.
That was the point of the action. Iran understands the hatred by the Israeli state for the Palestinian people (condoned, sometimes commended by western imperialist interests, particularly the British empire and the United States) only required provocation before Israel would commit atrocities that could be called a holocaust. So the Iranian intelligence state funded Hamas to cause trouble.
And they played Netanyahu the way Martin Luther King Jr. played US police departments.
The difference is, information from Palestine leaks out better now than it did throughout the 20th century, so the global public, especially in industrialized states, gets to look at it. We get to know what is happening and it is more frightening than we imagined.
The horror of the German holocaust, according to our own nations and their state departments, is not what was done, but to whom.
"They made me do it" has been the main axis of Israeli Propaganda since the start and that's just a variant of that.
How about this alternative explanation: they're stealing Palestinian land, want to ultimatelly steal all Palestinian land, are led by Sociopaths and Psychopaths and have an extremely racist society anchored on the kind of ethnic superiority ideas that would make Klanners blush, so they were always going to do something like this sooner or later to get rid of the rest of Palestinians and get the rest of their land and do it in the most inhuman ways because a large part, maybe even most, of Israeli society see themselves as "the chosen people", a superior ethnicity and what the previous famous group of ethno-Fascists would call übermenschen, whilst they see Palestinians as lesser people, "human animals", untermenschen.
This is the kind of mass murdering Western nations used to do back in the days of Colonialism. It's only shocking for us nowadays because we've evolved as societies and adopted Humanist values (though by their support of Israel you can see that many politicians in several countries and even a large fraction of people have in fact not evolved). Israel does in fact have Western Values, it's just they're the White Colonialist Values that many European nations had back in the 19th Century, not 21st Century Western Values.
But according to western military experts that are promoted by bibi himself, the IDF is the most moral army on earth and does more to mitigate civilian casualties than any army in history??????
Modern weapons are so accurate, so when I see this now I'm pretty sure that it was intentional don't let them deceive y'all by the 'most moral army in the world' bull shit, Their goal is to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian ethnicity, they want more and more land. It's pure genocide yet the west still fund them what a world are we living in! Now you can't blame a kid for joining Hamas when he grows up in all of this and see all his siblings die or his relatives. Pain will cause pain and violence will cause violence it'll be an endless loop.
Now you can’t blame a kid for joining Hamas when he grows up in all of this and see all his siblings die or his relatives.
When you bomb the shit out of any area you claim to have terrorists in all you do is create more terrorists. It's like the oldest concept in history that we absolutely refuse to learn because it's beneficial not to when you need a terrorist to point at to justify your bullshit...
That's 710 babies under 1, it seems. The document wasn't linked in many of the articles talking about this but one article did mention it was on Gaza's MoH Telegram account, found it there. It's a pretty damn long list
Unless I’m blind, that’s not the whole document, but just a few pages of it. I’m not doubting it exists, but this is a lot less to send to every university printer people have access to 😩
You know, you can find the unjust bombardment of the Gaza Strip (and now also the West Bank unfortunately) wrong, and not compare it to the Holocaust at the same time?
Putting together the bombing, indiscriminate killing of civilians near the aid centers, and blocking aid convoys to restrict calories available in the "humanitarian" areas, paints a pretty good picture. The only thing they haven't copied from Nazi Germany yet is camps with ovens.
Does it list cause of death? I assume the babies are dying cause of unavailabilty of pre- and post natal care, as a result of hospitals being unavailable. Or perhaps there is widespread starvation going on. Children usually succumb first to that.
